I got great service from Travis a couple years ago, but I called him today to see if I could get my…read moreSUVs routine serviced, and had the weirdest interaction with them. 1: They denied I ever had service with them in the past, and when they finally found me, i was saved under a completely different unknown name. 2: They were very hostile and rude while talking to me, denying service from the get-go due to the fact I have an SUV, not a truck. This was not previously an issue. 3. Even though I didn't bring up any problems with my previous vehicle, they implied I was complaining about quality of previous work. I did no such thing, all I needed was routine service. Their attitude aggressive the whole way thru. I get having a bad day but ... why run a business when you take out personal stuff on customers? weird strategy, wired for failure. My wife and I are very taken aback, flabbergasted even. I thought they were a decent business; Travis a good mechanic, but It does seem like something has changed at that business recently. I cannot recommend them any longer. So confusing to act like that in this economy. Well be praying for them. :/

Outstanding is what Texas Express Lube & Auto stands for…read more I've had my oil changed in numerous places and they did their job, but I never felt that they deserved a recommendation. Nothing bad about them, not with most, just nothing to brag about. Texas Express Lube & Auto, without a doubt, deserves a recommendation. Hell, they deserve a badge. These guys know what they're doing and they check everything out, and when they're done they tell you what is good, bad, or could need a replacement in the future so you know what's going on with your car. I can describe Texas Express Lube & Auto in a few words: Excellent, Stupendous, and Sterling. Did I forget to say Outstanding!

I purchased the gasket and scheduled my day to bring the car in for the gasket and oil change only for them to tell me they won't do it. When I asked what changed they became rude and disrespectful.

I was told that in life you only need 3 things. A good woman, a dog and a good mechanic. Well, the…read morewife left, the dog died but I do believe that I was able to nail the 3rd. I found Garcia's Diesel to do a simple diagnostic on my truck, a Ford F350 6.7 liter diesel, that had been in an accident caused by a blowout on the freeway. The original collision center "fixed" it and gave it back. Fun fact, it wasn't "fixed". After months of back and forth with my insurance company and the collision center it was concluded that I needed to get a diagnostic done to find out if there was anything wrong. Mind you, the collision center assured me that everything was fixed and that they thought my concerns were all in my head. Enter Garcia's Diesel. They got me in and within 5 minutes of looking at my truck determined that there was a lot wrong. Like fraud level wrong. Like the front end, which was supposed to be fixed, was about to fall off wrong. Now, this is the point where I could've been taken advantage of. But what happened was the crew of the shop seemed just as mad about the situation as me. The owner, John Garcia along with the operations manager Trent Hulsey and their skilled diesel mechanic Scott, assured me that they would assist in any way they could as the long process of fighting with the insurance company (USAA) to get them to make my truck right. Assisting them was the office manager Laurne Ashelin who has experience with insurance claims, specifically with USAA, and was able to navigate the process to make sure that all the information gathered was properly documented so that the insurance had no choice but to make things right. Along the way they also found something else going on that I'd been dealing with that could've been catastrophic. They were able to work with me to correct that problem in the most cost-effective and cost-efficient way avoiding a much more expensive, and possibly fatal, issue with the truck. You Ford Powerstroke owners, change your CCV filter. If you don't know what that is, google it because it needs to be changed. Above and beyond is a rare thing in the business of garages. These folks get it. They weren't working on my Truck. They were gaining a customer for life. And in a difficult time made sure that I knew they were on my side and committed to getting me back on the road. In the word of Johns wife, Katlynne, I'm not just a customer, I'm family. And to be honest, through this entire process, I felt like it. 5 stars isn't enough.

In regard to your response Frank I'll expose again why no one should use you. To start I used you…read moreafter the break issue we resolved to give you a shot. I bring up that brake issue because it eventually became a pattern of dropping the ball, and repeated issues 1. My car had to be towed because basic logic well known issue for GMC/Chevy 6.2 liter V8 engines have a lifter issue which requires engine replacement. The car wasn't in bad shape as you say. Cadillac dealership said I should have it towed due to the knocking sound. My car has always been kept immaculate. Yes you quoted a fair price, it was Lambs in Lakeway that was ridiculous and most people know they are. The engine took long because they sent the wrong engine and in regards to my finances it wasn't I couldn't pay . I was at the mercy of you and I was nothing but polite every single interaction with you. Your dropped the ball so many times and you actually asked me for advance payment at one point because you needed to pay your taxes . I didn't want to pay you UPFRONT Frank. You fix then pay, that's most every way it's done . You didn't have the money to cover costs which is a concern regarding running a business. I had also just spent money on another car repair and boat repairs . The car sat as I decided what I wanted to do. As far as stating you could have charged me storage you never once mentioned that and I have every phone call that proves that. Pretty shady of you to pull that out on your reply here. Again not on single time did you ever mention storage fees. So please don't act as if it was some favor you did. The car went in for an engine replacement. As you confirmed the day you put the engine in to test drive you call me telling me I need steering column replacement. Yes I have you on recording Frank stating that indeed the lift and big tires were the culprit. The steering was completely fine and it had not been driven once per you as we waited for the engine issue and replacement to be resolved. You now understand why I recorded you. You can't remember what you told me. I didn't struggle to pay you. I had a boat in repair and another car a Range Rover in repair. I communicated to you very professionally. By the way let's remember you had me pay up front on everything. It was the engine that was ordered that was delayed. 2. Regarding the transmission line. Let the public see this post. I pick up my car from Frank and I make it about a quarter to half a mile or so down road and what becomes the problem is the transmission line. Frank I have that call to you recorded as well and your claim that I accelerated or false and blew the line is total BS. It had nothing to do with big tires. I'm saving all my facts, statements from GM certified techs , and video of your guy coming over to "fix" it. Within a day or 2 it went out again and I made you tow it for free. It was your guy that you sent and had him do what he did and sent me on my way and that all was fine only to have it sent back to you. By the way on our recorded call you tried to lead me to believe with certainty it was one thing when in fact you were wrong and called me with another reason. Again grateful I recorded both those conversations. The reputable mechanics I discussed were my brothers out of Houston. My brother owns a professional garage and luxury and collector car biz for 22 years. The other reputable people was a connection I had out of A Cadillac dealer in Dallas. I mentioned this to you and so logically my car stayed locally with you. 3. The whole issue about you spending 200 for the detail I will just say to anyone reading this look at the pics of my Escalade left in his care. Never should have happened Frank. By the way I took a time stamp video of my car before it went back to you. I didn't spill the oil. That's a regular engine oil. Why would I need engine oil to leave in my backseat after you just repaired and did an engine replacement. Again shady of you to blame that on me. And by the way I had to waste 3 hours of my work day sitting there waiting on a detail. Completely unprofessional. 4. I asked you you fix my windshield wiper motor while you had it. You never did. I kept asking you very time you had the car and I have your texts alone that show you forgot several times. same thing Frank regarding the transmission thermostat. I asked you several times, you came out to fix my running board and forgot to get the transmission thermostat and windshield motor. Again pretty crazy you fixed my transmission yet our texts show you dropping the ball on the thermostat. I have lost count on the amount of texts I have that show you never show up on time. I'm done with my response. I'll update this post after claims court.

The most recent reviews were negative for this location but I thought I would try them again. I met with Daniel the service advisor at my 7:00 am scheduled appointment. Daniel gave me a complete estimate for the services I requested and followed up later when my truck was finished and ready to be picked up. I was very pleased that the estimate and final invoice was exactly the same, and they did not try to up sell unnecessary services or parts. My truck was ready on time, and the multi-point inspection identified some services for my next maintenance appointment. I would recommend this location, having two successful appointments completed for maintenance services.

Absolute waste of time. Do NOT bring 2018+ Ram/Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge here!**…read moreI am incredibly frustrated with my experience at this location. I took my 2025 Ram 2500 here for an alignment. Before even driving down, I specifically called ahead to ask if they could perform the alignment *and* recalibrate the steering angle sensor. The employee on the phone assured me they could do both and quoted me prices for both a single and a lifetime alignment. Based on that confirmation, I booked an appointment for the same day. After sitting in the waiting room for over an hour, I overheard the technician telling the front desk clerk that while the alignment was done, he couldn't recalibrate the steering angle sensor because "it wasn't an option on any of their tools." I immediately confronted the person behind the counter. This is completely unacceptable. Anyone who knows trucks knows that without recalibrating that sensor, you will still experience issues with the steering wheel not being straight, pulling, and improper tracking. The employee then went into the shop to help the technician. A few minutes later, he came back and claimed they just needed to "renew the subscription" on their Autel scan tool. So, I sat there for *another* 45 minutes. Finally, I watched my truck get pulled around to the front. They walked in and admitted that even after updating their subscription, they **still** couldn't recalibrate the sensor. **The Bottom Line:** While they didn't charge me for the alignment since they couldn't finish the job, they wasted two hours of my day and left my truck unresolved. If you own a 2018 or newer Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, or Dodge, consider this a warning: **Do not bring your vehicle to this Firestone.** They do not have the necessary equipment or tools to properly service your steering sensors. UNACCEPTABLE!

Anyway, i pulled right in and they started immediately asking for the veh info then giving the oil change options. I got the basic. They were def as fast as advertised. The only down side here is that they do try to upsale you on anything and everything while they have you; and it seems like the prices are a bit high. I bought an engine filter and it was almost $30. But again, they were fast. I was in and out. Oh, and my check engine light didn't go off after the oil change. The issue was that my gas cap wasn't on properly :/
